Ag Growth International Inc (AFN-T) is currently facing significant challenges, particularly regarding delays in reporting financial results from its Brazilian operations. Such delays have raised concerns among investors, especially as they impact the timely release of the company's Q3 numbers. These developments are usually flagged as warning signs in the investment community, indicating a lack of transparency or operational issues that could negatively affect performance. Moreover, the company's heavy dependence on the unpredictable agricultural cycle adds another layer of risk, making it less attractive for those who prefer stable investments. As a result, some experts have decided to halt their investments in AFN-T until a clearer financial picture emerges.

CNQ
BUY
Weather left a lot of agriculture equipment stuck in inventory. This one is now a beneficiary of what is happening in Agriculture. Is growing and he likes it. It might get taken over. 6-7% yield. There will always be bad weather.
BUY
Farm machinery such as grain dryers, corn bins and movable conveyor belts. There are not many agricultural plays apart from the obvious ones. Earning good returns. 6.6% yield. They continue to buy tuck-in acquisitions, which will give them growth over time.
BUY
Grain handling equipment. Feels 7.8% dividend is sustainable. Payout ratio of about 55%. Biggest concern is their international business, which is about 15% of revenue with an objective to get to 40%. Expect this will be put on hold for the next 12-18 months.
WEAK BUY
Sold at higher prices, having done well. Top end of the farm equipment business includes Deer. Can be up to $550,000 with Deer. AFN produces equipment ($10k) that gathers wheat up from feels and puts into silos. Steel prices rising hurt the bottom line a bit. If you a have long time horizon you can own the stock, has a descent yield.
SELL
Owned in the past. Small grain handling equipment. Benefit from increased harvesting. Good export business. Felt their clients had made a lot of money with this. Would buy close to $30
BUY
Great company. Best known as a manufacturer of grain augurs. Has come under pressure recently. USDA recently revised their corn estimates downwards along with the estimated yields. Fantastic management that is focused on growth. Looks well covered with a low payout ratio. Expects a couple quarters of choppiness.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 16/10. Up 3.72%.) An agriculture play with grain bins, dryers and portable conveyor belts. Expanding globally. Still likes it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 16/10. Up 4.64%.) Manufactures storage bins, grain dryers and mobile conveyer belts. Fell because of the wet spring in the prairies. Expanding in to Europe. Great longer term story.
COMMENT
Manufacture farm equipment. Q2 results beat expectations. A lot of this was a result of sequential improvements in margins. Also have some new exposure to emerging markets. Trades at a discount to its peers.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 16/10. Up 3.23%.) Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 14/10. Up 16%.) 7% convertible bonds.
WAIT
He is looking at taking profits. [caller asked about buying more].
TOP PICK
If you believe in the whole food story, this is one of the companies that makes the augurs and grain bins. Business is up 16% over the last year. Only 25% of grain is professionally stored globally so the market for this is enormous.
TOP PICK
7% convertible bonds. Small company but excellent balance sheet.
WAIT
Was his top pick middle of last year, but it had a great run since then. Likes the business. Had operating issues about a year back but they have turned the former and are operating at capacity. Dividend is safe and payout ratios are fine. Wait for an acquisition in order to buy.
